Decline in Real Estate

[jdirgo]

In Hawaii and in our contracts here, we clearly state who is represented by each party in the transaction. Its not perfect yet, and there's move toward "designated agency" and some other forms that some states are experimenting with. I think we're kind of waiting to see which experiment is best. Hawaii was actually one of the first (if not THE first) to change our rules to make it possible to eliminate sub-agency. No Realtor I know would accept sub-agency of the seller as an option for them. In fact, we specifically state in the MLS that sub-agency on a listing is not an option.
